For some reason, you're saying things here that you know not to be true. About both Haaretz's circulation, and Levy.

That doesn't at all jibe with my extensive observation of both Americans and non-Americans. But hey, it's your life and you can keep on forming beliefs about the world based on crude (and frankly rather trite) stereotypes like th

[Troll farms, recent German scandals etc] I'd continue further with you here, but you seem to be very, very confused about some very basic things. We were talking about (empty) claims of KGB influence back in the 1980s. Not modern

At this stage, a MAP [Membership Action Plan] offer would be seen not as a technical step along a long road toward membership, but as throwing down the strategic gauntlet. You understand that in fact the MAPs to Ukraine and Georgia were n

The US was the first to violate the agreement, unfortunately. How, specifically? Facts only, please. There are hawks in the US that don't care about Ukraine being neutral because they want to squeeze Russia. That doesn't mean

You are, apparently. Whether this is a useful way of looking at the world or not is up to you. But in any case: no, they're definitely and obviously not the same. Just because someone's view of a particular situation isn't e

Are you the kind of person who doesn't understand the difference between "tries to influence" and the obviously much stronger "pretty strongly influenced" claim the above commenter was making? Or who thinks: "

The anti nuclear power movement in Europe was also pretty strongly influenced by Soviet info ops. Citation needed, especially for the "pretty strongly" part.

People generally think journalists are trustworthy. That is ironically, in itself, a gross distortion of what I'm saying here.

Then it's a straight-up hazing question. And not only that -- it betrays the mathematical (and everyday practical) ignorance of the people who apparently think of themselves as wily and clever for asking it. It doesn't matter how

Why does it feel like every time someone promotes 'ethical journalism' here, it's always state backed propaganda? A quick keyword search on the phrase easily refutes the supposition you're making here. Not only that,

NATO was never, ever, ever going to start a land war against Russia. The idea that it would have even the slightest interest in doing so is just absolutely fucking absurd. It's just pure scare imagery that the Russian deep state puts o

If instead we listened to what they were actually saying about the expansion of NATO toward their borders this conflict could have been avoided. Actually the West did listen, and as a result took the crucial step of formally denying the N
